Comparative historical database of Enggano lexical resources

• Work in progress by Gede Primahadi Wijaya Rajeg, also hosted on the @engganolang GitHub repository:
  • Helfrich’s (1916) Enggano-Dutch word list. In progress on GitHub (the main form table is now searchable here, consisting of the Dutch and English glosses, with standardised and IPA transcription columns [with segmentations]). Further aspects to develop are mentioned here.
  • Digitised, searchable version of the Holle List. 2023. Also available as GitHub, Zenodo, ORA repositories. For more information, see the Holle List entry in our Previous Work page.
  • CLDF dataset of the Enggano word list from 1895 in Stokhof and Almanar's (1987) Holle List. Also available as GitHub, Zenodo, ORA repositories.
• Work in progress by Daniel Krauße, Erik Zobel and Bernd Nothofer, Frankfurt, 2022-2023:
  • List of Enggano sound correspondences with Proto-Austronesian (PAN), Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) and examples. Frankfurt, 2022.
  • List of Enggano Etymologies with their reconstructions for Proto-Austronesian (PAN) and Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) if known. Frankfurt, 2022.

  • List of loanwords in Enggano. Compiled based on Kähler's dictionary (1987), Nothofer’s article on loanwords (1992) and Yoder’s thesis (2011). Work in progress. Frankfurt, 2022-2023
  • Analysis of Walland's wordlist “Het Eiland Engano”, including the original lexemes, contemporary correspondences and etymological notes. Work in progress by Daniel Krauße. For more information, see the Walland entry in our Previous Work page.

Krauße, Zobel and Nothofer's Historical Comparison of Enggano Attestations combines most of the historical wordlists of Enggano, and is to be supplemented with works by Gede Rajeg (e.g., the Enggano Holle List 1895 that is not fully complete, Helfrich 1916, which is not fully complete, and Kähler's Enggano dictionary). Gede Rajeg is also annotating the English glosses in Krauße, Zobel and Nothofer's Historical Comparison of Enggano Attestations word list with the Concept Sets from the Concepticon catalogue.
